The Twitterverse, like usual, had a lot to say about the iPad 2 announcement. First of all, there was relief and joy to see the man himself, Steve Jobs, on stage. The new version of iMovie caused mass drooling as did GarageBand. The HDMI out is an awesome new feature for product demos or showing off apps. The thinner, lighter iPad? Magical.

cnntech: “Jobs on the iPad: ‘People laughed at us for using the word magical. But you know what? It’s turned out to be magical.'”
Scobleizer: “Apple is repeating what I’ve been saying for months. Apps are all that matters and competitors are way behind.”
